The Pentagon is preparing plans for possible troops on the ground in Iran, according to a leak to CBS News.
Operation Epic Fury, a joint military operation between the US and Israel, began on February 28.
So far the military operation has involved the US Air Force and Navy.
The US military has decimated Iran’s missile infrastructure, naval forces, air force and nuclear capabilities, according to the Pentagon.
According to CBS News, senior military commanders are preparing plans for a possible ground invasion.
Pentagon officials have made detailed preparations for deploying U.S. ground forces into Iran, multiple sources briefed on the discussions told CBS News.
Senior military commanders have submitted specific requests aimed at preparing for such an option as President Trump weighs moves in the U.S.-Israel-led conflict with Iran, the sources said.
Mr. Trump has been deliberating whether to position ground forces in the region, sources said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
It was unclear under what circumstances he would authorize the use of troops on the ground.
On Thursday, a reporter asked President Trump if he intends to put troops on the ground in Iran.
